Syma 2nd Edition S107 S107G New Version Indoor Helicopter (Red)

At £12.50 delivered, I was not expecting a great product but this has far exceeded my expectations. This is an amazing little toy. I understand that fakes are very common but I have examined the toy carefully and I am 99% certain that this is a genuine item. The packaging, the quality and all the little details would certainly indicate this. The toy is nicely detailed and assembled, (this was my first surprise), the flying experience is equally good.It is wonderfully stable and very easy to manoeuvre. Flight time fully charged is about 5 minutes continuous. A few words of advice. 1. Do your first flight in a very large room or hall. You will soon master the controls and be able to fly in a much smaller space. 2. Look after the battery. Lipos are not robust and do not forgive impatience and poor handling. leave battery to cool after flight. do not over discharge (stop flying as soon as power drops) and let it cool for a few minutes after charging (about 50 minutes charge time via USB cable) To all those that have complained that there helicopters are not robust enough to survive a crash, don't be surprised. It's a minute model with small plastic parts that spin extremely fast. What do you expect? Learn to fly it first and this shouldn't be a problem. The product arrived very quickly (3 days) and was well packaged. The seller did a very good job. My only criticism is that the instructions are in Chinese. There are plenty of instructions on the internet for those that need them.

We bought this for our son for his 8th Birthday. I was aware of the recommended age group for this RC toy but based of his ability and my supervision we wanted to try it out and give him his birthday wish. Overall we really can't complain too much. The price of this toy was under £18 including a pack of spares. We were a bit sceptical about a few things though. Firstly, it was coming from China and there have been quite a few cases of these toys being reproduced and branded as the same but with inferior components. This was not the case with this toy sent by "Fly Service". Googling told us what to look out for and everything we checked on the toy was legit! Secondly, we were not sure if our son would be able to control this without too much difficulty. We were quite surprised how quickly he managed to get to grips with it and how to control the toy in the air. It took a little while and there were some crashes along the way but he got to grips quickly enough. This also says a lot about the build quality because there have been no parts that have needed to be replaced after hours of crashing! The Gyro system (in my opinion) is not that sensitive and the helicopter does tend to drift forward a little on take off. This is elevated with a little pressure on the back control during take off. There is also a little wobble from time to time but that evens out as the "balance blades" (as I can them) stretch into position. Overall, this is a fab toy for a great price. The set of spares are typically under £2 so it's no massive problem if it does break which, this hasn't yet. It's obviously quite well made for what it is. It's also a lot of fun and mastering it in flight is quite rewarding as we have found out with our son. It's also a great place to start out before moving up to larger scale helicopters with extra control channels. Our son may just stay with this for a while longer yet though (we hope)!

Bought this from one of the sellers on here that ships from China and got it for £10.98, at that price I'm not even sure how they are making any money becuase this little helicopter is amazing, I will warn you though if you buy from one of the cheaper sellers which tend to come from China mine took about 3 weeks to arrive but this is a product review and it didn't matter to me anyway. The helicopter itself is a sturdy little thing and comes with a charger that you can plug diectly into a laptop, PC or anything else with USB for that matter, my TV has a USB port and I charge it off that when my PC is off. The controller is pretty cheap looking but it is surprisingly sturdy and comfortable to hold also it was nice to find that there is no spring on the throttle control which some of the cheaper mini helicopters have which makes them harder to fly. The helicoper is so easy to fly and at £10.98 I wouldn't mind if I broke it after a few weeks, the spare parts are very cheap on here too. All said and done this is a great little helicopter for anyone who wants to have a mess about, it isn't for the budding model helicopter flyer but I think even someone who flew the big ones could appreciate how well made this is for the price.

Disapointed on size.

Great product. Easy to fly and very durable.

Fungerar bra förutom extremt kort batteritid. Kan flygas Max 6 min innan det är dags ladda batteri.

Doesn't work properly,abd after 2 lifts up it doesn't take off from the ground anymore
